Do do do de do de do do do do

I grew up with the Great Big Sea cover. I highly recommend it for anyone that’s into something more… folky.

There’s a whole political movement dedicated to not understanding Killing in the Name.

I have the VGT’s Charlie Brown Christmas album. I love it. The whole thing.

It’s also saying that artists’ works shouldn’t be considered personal property. Even as an anarchist, I wouldn’t want people taking my drawings and using them however they wanted without my blessing.

PeerTube’s is good. I’ve always really liked FunkWhale’s logo.

They’re all so big now, and the vast, vast majority of people posting to them do not care. They don’t know what an API is, they didn’t know there were third party apps to begin with, and the dismantling of all of that third party infrastructure happened in a totally different world to their own. That has left the “counter culture” having to decide between all of that content they’ve been binging for years, and that is still over there because they weren’t the ones making it, or having to do the work of building something new and empty.

And yet, there are still 10s of thousands of us here…

But how can I have things my way, and also ensure that you have things my way, too, if we’re in different places?? Huh? Didja ever even think about that?

And I want emphasis on websites-as-community-hubs. Which means we have some significantly opposing desires.

Now what?

But with it being on a publicly accessible forum, there’s the implicit invitation to join the discussion.

Online community development and maintenance is actually a studied thing. The research shows that clear rules and a moderation team dedicated to community management and enforcing the rules is the best way forward.

One of the problems with Reddit – and now Lemmy – is the belief that the masses are the ones who should have the power to censure and censor, thanks to those little up and down arrows sprinkled all over the place. If we want to build better communities, we should be leaning away from that, not into it.

mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.

So, your solution is… cronyism? Because this just sounds like creating a special class of power-player users and a smoke screen for them.

It’s definitely more useful. I don’t think there’s any argument about that.

More famous than SETI@Home?

I’m surprised we don’t have disclosures for working conditions. Gamers like the suffering of developers. It’s part of the power fantasy.

How does this guy have time or energy for 3+ affairs? Having one non-secret relationship is already my limit for thr amount of attentuon I have to give to people

The question the OOP is getting at isn’t about being smarter or more capable. It’s about knowing how to probem solve, which is itself about feeling like it’s ok to tinker.

Sadly, the public is vastly undereducated in the value and importance of control variables.

I ended up just paying for a private host. Now’s the time of year to find one, with all of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotions taking place.

I have a couple of them. I wish I was better at placing the electrodes. So many positions do basically nothing, or just sting the skin, but when I get them set up right, holy shit is it magic.

Need to order in some replacement gel for the pads, though.
